Toothpaste is big business. There is a toothpaste for whitening and brightening, tartar and stain, sensitivity, children, and now, enamel-saving.
What do we really need?
The most important ingredient in commercial over the counter toothpaste is fluoride.
Some people are sensitive to extra added ingredients. The simpler the toothpaste the less chance of irritation.
If your dentist determines you need enamel saving, a prescription toothpaste with calcium and phosphate alone or calcium phosphate and extra fluoride will be dispensed.
Ask your dental professional what you really need.
